breaking bread, choosing words carefully, cliches, inspiration, poem, poetry, word play, writing
he said it in the simplest way possible
just a few words
sprinkled
a dusting of confectioners sugar upon the page
he picked every syllable with precision
assembling them together
like notes on a musical staff
a place
a syncopated rhythm for each one
he beautifully broke every beat and meter
like a host breaking bread at his table
not a crumb wasted
not a word misplaced
not a pause or a breath untimely
not a crust of content
misused or erased
he found his literary path
uncluttered with clichés
instead
he chose
such a much more simpler way
to say it
the less beaten path
from which to write it all out
Sincerely, Lori
